know this little poem, and below he had
written these few lines from Emerson's
"Rhodora':
Rhodora! II the sages ask thee why
This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,
Tell them, Gear, that II eyes were made for see

Then beauty is its own excuse for being.

He had underscored two words-me and
you. She reread the lines, and then,
strange woman, she passionately kissed
the flowers but tore the note into little
shreds and threw il away.
At the dinner table that night she wore
a bunch of purple rhodOras in her white
gown, but Lieut.. Halstead could not get
a glimpse of those wonderful gray eyes,
the eyes that Iightcped, that smiled, that
grew sad, that We're unfathomabie, that
tonight were continually yeiled by the
dark curling lashes.
IL was unusually warm in Detroit this
summer. and Mr.. Black was anxious to
speedily arrange his business affairs that
he might join his wife and daughter soon
after their arrival at the Sault, but il was
quite nine weeks before he was able to do
so.
They came down 10 the boat to meet
him, and he was mystified by the anxious
manner of the one and the serious air of
the other.
The morning after Mr.. Blacks arrival
Lieut.. Halstead might be seen inpatient
ly pacing to and fro in the cozy room that
served as the Black sitting room. The
door was gently opened and Miss Rhodora
came in fresh and smiling, her eyes
twinkling with suppressed laughter.
AT lastr' exclaimed the lieutenant,
his face radiant, as he held out both hands
to meet her.
Miss RhOdora Black was one OF the pret-
test brides Detroit ever saw. She wore
soft tullc gown and carried bunch Of
purple rhOdOras. as.-George Truman ker-

The Lime Kiln Club.

1T am my painful dooty to inform dis

passed from airth away" said Brother
Gardner when the triangle had ceased tn

dis club, libin' in de stait of North Caro-
liny, an he was only 10 cents behind OD
his dues. 1t kin not be said of Arbustus
dat he was either statesman, poet,
philosopher, philanthropist or scholar
He was simply an eberyday man, who
did not shrink eandwise when he got
wet
LAS citizen of de United States he
did not go braggin' aroun' about our
bein' de greatest nashun on airth, but he
had a hickory club laid away for any
country which might knock de chip of

''As an elector he went to de polls cherry
time dar' was a chance to vote, an some
times when deir wasn't, an if he split his
ticket it was bekase he was deeply inter
ested in de matter of honest guv 'ment.
"As a laborer he was worthy of his
hire. When he wasn't workin' he was
thinkin' fur de benefit of his boss. II de
boss didn't know dis it was his own fault.

no will or desire for anything bat to slerT
away their days and pass their nights in

A Few Mild Criticism--The Appoint
ment of stanton-Before the War.
Ny relations with Mr.. Lincoln were gem
orally very pleasant, and seldom had trouble
! with him when we could meet face to face
| The difficulty always arose behind my back.
| l believe that he liked me personally and
| certainly he was always much influenced by
me when we were together During the
early part of my command iii Washington
he often consulted with me before taking
| important steps or appointing general Off
GERS.
He appointed Hunter a major general
without consulting me- and a day or two
afterward explained that he did so because
the people of Illinois seemed to want some
| body to be a sort of father to them, and he
thought Hunter would answer that pur-
pose"
When he appointed as general officers
some of the released prisoners from the
first Bull Run, he afterward explained to
me that he did it a recompense for their
sufferings unaware, no doubt, that in other
armies they would have been brought before
some tribunal to explain their capture.
Soon after arriving in Washington the
president one day sent for me to ask my
opinion of Hooker, who was urged for ap-
pointment as a briSadier general of volun-
teers, and stated that he wished me to re-
gard the conversation as strictly confiden-
tial. | told him that Hooker had been a
good soldier in Mexico, but that common
report stated that he had failed in Califor-
MIA, but that had no persongl knowledge
of this and | advised him to consult with
officers who were in California with Hooker.
He, however, gave him the appointment a
few days later. Remembering that this CON
verSation was sought by tie president, and
tlal, II was with no little surprise that
learned, after Antietam, that Hooker had
been informed OF the conversation, except
Oh It's conhdentlal nature, and that 1t was
sought by the president
As before stated, when Stanton was made
secretary OF war knew nothing OF the mat
ter until the nomination had already gone
to the senate. Next day the president came
to my house to apologize for not consulting
me on the subject He said that he knew
stanton to be friend OF mine, and as
sumed that L would be glad TO have hlin
secretary OF war, and that he feared that II
he told me beforehand some OF those fel-
lows would say that had draSooned him

Tobacco Tax.


The tax on tobacco does not protect any body
and is just as much of a burden to the mass of
male population of the United States almost
any other tax.-Ex.
Why the editor should leave out OF
his list OF those who share the benefits
OF government, the better half Of our
citizens We are at loss to know The
female half OF our population may be
taken from the number that would be
benefited by the removal OF the tobac-
co tax. Almost no woman use to-
bacco, and no ladies at all. We may
reduce the remainder one-half again at
least, because childr, DO not use or
should not use tobacco. The remain
der may be cut in two once more, be-
cause one-half of the adult males do
not use tobacco. This brings the
number that would be directly ben
Gifted by reducing the tax on tobacco
down to one-cighth OF our population,
and that is liberal estimate And
even these few not only need not use
it, but they would be better off ply
sically and financially if they had
never used it at all.
But where is the man, woman or
child who does not wear woolens?
Where is the man, woman or child
who does not consume sugar and salt,
linen, require directly or indirectly
the use of coal, leather goods, glass
ware, etc?
